I'd like to test my understanding of how the new Automotive EMC

(ESA's) that are unrelated to vehicle safety, what the relationship is
to the EMC Directive, and how those questions differ between the old and
new Automotive
RTCA/DO-160 (Environmental Conditions or Aircraft) has a requirement to
measure the compass-safe distance. That would seem to be the main issue.
As far as I know, RTCA/DO-160 applies equally to commercial transport and
general aviation aircraft.

I have a safety/regulatory question, but I need to explain a bit.

Cell Phone - sold by Cell phone carriers and small
I'm afraid that I don't have a definitive answer, and look forward to
somebody else posting one.
However, my one observation is that the power tool may be used in the
workplace and is therefore subject to the jurisdiction of OSHA, whereas your

Does any one know the current status of how battery operated products are
affected by the NRTL requirements? I did notice a power tool I bought
lately has a NRTL mark on it, but my cell phone does not. In both cases the
